 have (I couldn’t find it, and their customer support wasn’t much help either).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

 their hands in a lot more than just OCR.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi everyone,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are currently using a version of ABBYY Finereader that is several years old. We are trying to decide whether we should upgrade to ABBYY 12, or consider other options, such as the dolphin and IRTI products. We would like flexibility to
 produce  well marked up content in whatever format the student requests, while still maintaining a workflow that is as simple as possible. I’d be curious as to what others are using, and what the advantages, as well as disadvantages are to those products.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Many thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
